Mechanical Thrombectomy by a Direct Aspiration First Pass Technique (ADAPT) in Ischemic Stroke: Results of Monocentric Study Based on Multimodal CT Patient Selection

Table 2

Scores and parameters evaluated on Noncontrast Computed Tomography (NCCT), Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), and Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP).

NCCT CTA CTP

(i) ASPECTS, stratified ≤7 and >7   
(ii) Leukoaraiosis, stratified as “present” or “absent”  
(iii) Clot Length, divided >10mm or <10mm  
(iv) Clot Density (Hounsfield Units) corrected by contralateral density: Clot density ratio  
(v) Site of Occlusion
(i) Clot Burden Score (CBS), stratified ≥6 and <6
(ii) Collaterals as Pial Arterial Filling Score (PAF) within the affected territory Using Single and Multiphase CT Angiography. Stratified in >4 and ≤4
(i) Ischemic Core Volume, Penumbra Volume using the ABC/2 formula  
(ii) Mismatch between Mean Transit Time (MTT) and Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV) 
(iii) CBV ASPECT, then stratified in >8 and ≤8
